Ep. 23 - DeSantis v Birkenstock

Ep. 23 - DeSantis v Birkenstock

Small man, big mouth. In this episode, we are joined by alumni Brandi (she/her) and student activist Josh Epstein (he/him) to discuss the ongoing challenges faced by faculty and students at New College of Florida, located in Sarasota, since Governor DeSantis's overhaul of the board of directors on January 6th, 2023. We primarily explore the impact these changes have had on campus culture and student life, shedding light on the nature of these changes. Additionally, we delve into the actions taken by students, alumni, and activists in their efforts to resist and counter the policies implemented by the DeSantis administration.

Thank you to the following monthly supporters: Misha Chernov and Jacob Albert.
